Hallo

I would like to update my mediawiki because I want to to configere Echo Extention and I'm trying to do this through the web using mw-config.

but when I put the key assigned to $wgUpgradeKey that I found in my LocalSettings.php I receive this message The upgrade key you provided is incorrect.

There is a special way to write this key I just made cut and paste from the file LocalSettings.php.

thanks

How are you pasting it?

For example, in my local test wiki, I see

$wgUpgradeKey = "this is the key";

So, if I were to upgrade, I would paste this is the key. Is that what you are doing?

Brimar (talkcontribs)

yes I'm doing like that but it doesn't work

MarkAHershberger (talkcontribs)

Is that the only wgUpgradeKey setting in your LocalSettings.php?

Brimar (talkcontribs)

yes.

What version of MediaWiki are you using? From the other thread, it looks like 1.27.

And could you verify my understanding of what you want to do?

  • You already have MediaWiki working fine.
  • You want to add Echo.
  • You have downloaded the appropriate version of the Echo extension and
  • uploaded it to extensions/Echo.
  • You've updated your LocalSettings.php to call extensions/Echo.

Is that right?

79.17.61.86 (talkcontribs)

The version I have is 1.27.1

Every think you write is right!

For the Echo I added rthe line wfLoadExtension( 'Echo' );

I also tried to change the logo image but it doesn't work.

For the Logo I changed the value of $Logo

Now The question is that I have mediawiki on a hosting Linux (Aruba) and i cannot reach it with command line. so I don't know how to execute update.php to run the echo extension.

I installed mediawiki with Softaculous App Installer

This is my wiki

We all start as beginners.

Did you change your logo with $Logo or $wgLogo?
